The German guys can probably add that feature in to the Dual Pentium III caffeïnestation.

with two processors they can probably have in booted and logged onto Free Republic for you.

I don't understand why you are resisting this technological marvel !

Because my nice and compact Melitta Mill & Brew does all of these functions without terrorizing our household and neighborhood.

We load it up the night before and set the time to start the milling and brewing about 3-5 minutes before we want to wake up.

The grinding and milling of the whole coffee beans wakes us up with the milling/grinding sweet noises. Then we smell the fresh ground coffee beans. Then a couple of minutes later we smell the fresh coffee being brewed. No alarm is needed.

Then, my wife kicks me out of bed to get her cup of coffee topped with Clover Chocolate Milk. I get and deliver most of her cup to her. Then, I stagger back to the kitchen and fill up my "World's Best Grampa!" kingsize 24 ounce mug.

I make it to my office where my computer is with most of the coffee to turn the computer on and to log on to FR. I apologize to all when my early posts looks like Gramp lost it. I just never had it until the coffee kicks in to awaken my CNS system.

So, I don't need your German Teutonic Titanic coffee maker from hell.
